Description

Hi Code Puppy team. I'm a big fan of the project and wanted to share interest in official VS Code extension support.

I’d love to use Code Puppy directly inside VS Code for:

  • in-editor chat,
  • “edit selection” workflows,
  • and diff-first patch apply/review.

From looking through the repo (for example: code_puppy/tools/subagent_context.py), it seems like a lot of the backend building blocks already exist, so this feels achievable with a thin editor integration layer.

Even an MVP would be great:

  1. run Code Puppy in headless mode from VS Code,
  2. send file/selection context,
  3. return proposed edits as a patch for user approval.

For context, I’ve been an Apache Software Foundation committer since 2011, and I’d be happy to help test or provide implementation feedback.

Thanks for all your work on Code Puppy!

Research direction

Start with code_puppy/tools/subagent_context.py and trace how Code Puppy can run in headless mode and receive file or selection context. Done means a VS Code integration supports in-editor chat, sends context, and returns proposed edits as a patch for user approval and review.
